I kind of liked him, but the USMNT is unbearable to watch now. I will be interested to see who they put in next

I heard Bruce Arena would take over.

Klinsmann is an up or down coach to me. He has had pretty piss poor performances, but also had stellar years. (2013 for example.)

USMNT is lacking as a whole and I feel Klinsmann is just a scapegoat. Im not a huge soccer fan, I just try to keep up. I actually heard this just half an hour ago. FB was quick to this one
** I posted without reading the article. Article pretty much said everything I did. Feel dumb now haha.

Klinsmann wasn't a very great coach to begin with, so I've always found it strange that the US national team wanted to hire him in the first place. At least it was a step in the right direction which was taking an 'European' approach, let's hope that they can keep going forward. I personally think that if the US really wants to make football work in the States, they have to better the sports infrastructure. Yes it's a popular sport and yes the US is pretty huge, so the number of footballers that they are pumping out is big, which means there should be a bigger pool of talents statically, however I feel that their talents aren't being prepared optimally and that has to be fixed first before we want to talk about preforming on the biggest stages in football
